Based on the quantification and analysis of more than 3000 facial images, this seminal work lays the foundation for future forensic facial comparison, computer applications development, and research in face shape variation and analysis. Using experimental and real case data, it demonstrates the influence of illumination, image resolution, perspective, and pose angle on landmark visibility. Two DVDs are included which contain the raw 3D landmark datasets for 3000 faces, additional datasets used in 2D analysis, and computer programs and spreadsheets used in analysis and in the development of prototypic applications software.

! throws light into dark niches and corners of the new science of forensic facial comparison. To my mind this book would stimulate further research in this field. This book should be read by all forensic scientists. --Anil Aggrawal's Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology Strengths of this book lie with the research results on 3D face variation and the total size of the sample analyzed; the breadth of different topics examined; and the supplemental data and software features included with the volume. ! A useful first look that draws on a large sample. --Carl N. Stephan, Journal of Forensic Sciences
